The Knowledge Is In Our spirits
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that
we are the children of God: And if children, then
heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if
so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together (Romans 8:16-17).
Being born again, we have the witness in our
spirits that we’re the children of God. Having
received eternal life from Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God
bears witness with your spirit; there’s a knowledge
way down deep inside you that God is your Father.
This isn’t an assumption! We have inside information,
knowledge produced in us by the Holy Spirit that
we’re born of God.
Notice the latter part of our opening scripture;
it’s so beautiful. It says, “And if children, then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that
we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified
together.” How could you be broke, or live an ordinary
life, with the knowledge that you’re not only an heir
of God, but also a joint heir with Christ? Do you know
what it means to be a joint heir with Christ?
It means everything that belongs to Jesus Christ
belongs to you, in the same way that it belongs to Him.
He doesn’t own any more of it than you do. This isn’t
your making; God made it so. That’s the grace of Jesus
Christ. He’s brought you into oneness with Himself;
into fellowship with Himself. Hallelujah! So, you can’t
look to what your parents have, or what they don’t
have; you’re a prosperous man already, because you’re
a joint heir with Christ. The world belongs to you. Live
and walk in this consciousness; you own the world.
Nothing can work to your disadvantage. Romans
8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God….” Notice the phrase,
“we know,” means that this isn’t an assumption! The
knowledge that we’ve overcome the world is in our
spirits; we’re more than conquerors and victors in
Christ Jesus! It doesn’t matter how dark, gloomy
or shaky things get, we have inside information,
knowledge beyond the senses that they’ll surely turn
out for our good! Hallelujah.
Confession
I’m an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ; the world belongs
to me. I know who I am. I’m a victor in Christ Jesus, supremely
blessed, reigning and ruling with the Lord, who is my shepherd,
my rock, refuge and shield. I live and walk in righteousness
and abundance, in Jesus Name. Amen.
